Questions & Answers

what size drywall anchor and screw to use. I already know to use #8 drywall screw because I pulled one out that I already had and it covers the whole. But that time I used a long screw.

Answer This Question

You'd want to use a 3/8' countersunk screw as shown on the product's webpage on homedepot.com. Gauge isn't mentioned, but if you know a #8 will work, use it.

    Will a 1/2” threaded steel rod with #16 coarse thread screw into this flange?

    Answer This Question

    Absolutely not! This is 1/2" Pipe thread not bolt thread. A 1/2" pipe is about 3/4' o.d.

      Hi, Franklin - No, the #16 coarse thread would not work. The fitting is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT).

      By|Jun 3, 2021

        From what I can tell, it doesn’t look like these would integrate, but I’m having difficulty locating the exact specs for the #16 coarse thread. This flange seems to have 14tpi tapered threads. Perhaps you can assess the specific steel rod in question, to make the final decision. Best of luck, Lee

          Will these rust over time?

          Yes and it wont take long if they get wet.

          By|May 11, 2021

            Hi, Megs - Since black pipe & fittings have no protective coating, they may rust in wet or humid environments. To stop the pipe from rusting or corroding on the outside, you should provide a layer of protection on the outside of the pipe. The easiest method is painting it. Clean it thoroughly with mineral spirits or acetone prior to painting.

            By|Apr 19, 2021

              Depends on the application. Used inside, no. Used in a wet location, yes.

                Will the pipe sit flush against the back of the flange? If not, how much length are you losing on the pipe by the gap in the back?

                Hi, Omar - Not quite sure what you're asking, but if you are referring to the depth of the threads from the top of the flange to the base, that's approximately 5/8". If the pipe nipple is screwed into the flange all the way, that's the length that would be lost. If we're missing the intent of your question, please feel free to call me (Dave, x1026) or Jon (x1010) M-F 8a-5p (661) 257-3923. Thanks.

                  Only 2 of the screw holes can be used when mounting the flange to a wall stud, correct?

                      Hi, Don - The diameter of the piece is 3.5". The top-to-bottom measurement (around the thread area) is 9/16". The 4 securing holes in the base are 1/4" and are 1-13/16" apart when measuring in a square pattern. They're 2-9/16" apart when measuring on the diameter. Thanks.

                        I want to reinstall a gas connection on my deck for a grill. My "professional licensed" plummer ran stainless steel flex. I always smelled gas from that connection and found out the drywall screws he used to attach the flex line punctured the flex line. I need to cut the flex back and want to plum the gas line with black pipe. I've purchased a floor flange and found the threads don't go all the way through. I've checked other suppliers and found the same thing. It the part called something else? I want to attach black pipe to a deck.

                          How strong are these? Curious if I could use this to do a ceiling pull up bar setup? Or would the threads not be strong enough?

                          These are built very tough. I used them to make some heavy duty book shelves that hold quite a bit of weight. The bigger concern would be that you need to make sure you find a good stud to mount them into, and then putting some lockthread on the threads to prevent the bar from rotating. You will probably only be able to get one screw in the top and one in the bottom hole since the holes on the left and right will be wider than the stud.

                          Hi, Jacob - Surprisingly, many reviews of this product (and our iron pipe) indicate people use this product as supports for chin-up bars. Of more concern, however, would be how the flange was actually secured to the ceiling so that it wouldn't pull out. The flange itself, however, should be fine and can handle the weight.
